Not everything is bad what makes Microsoft.

I like very much working with Visual Studio and I am glad that we could get rid off the old VO IDE.

<t>The regular backups are so important. How often have I deleted the contents of a complete file or a bigger number of lines by own mistake. Or made a global replacement for all files of the solution. And then lost files because of missing electric energy, complete blocking of windows or program er...

<t>We have succeeded Drag&Drop of Outlook emails in VO and also in X# with the VO-GUI-Classes (modified partially by us). <br/> <br/> It was a work of many, many weeks. I can share some code (not compilable) if someone is interested. But also when having some code you will surely have to spend a...

<t>> And AFAIK the company of Arne has a system to load nearly all DLLs delayed.<br/> Yes, it is still mostly true. Fortunately we could use the advantages of Dotnet. Now more dlls are included in the start exe, as code takes less space in memory. We merged also some smaller dlls to reduce the numbe...

<t>We have the same problems every day in our languages: <br/> - The first century of this millennium is the century with the 0 behind: 2000. The 18th century is 1700. <br/> - When we go to the "first floor" of a building in many languages in reality it is the second floor of the building, because t...

<t>Fortunately the transformation rules between the 0- and the 1-world are quite simple: just add or subtract 1 and we are in the other world. <br/> <br/> It is worse to make transformations between the Windows WinAPI-Screen coordinates and the VO-GUI Canvas coordinates and the VO-GUI logical dialog...

<r>I am also using the examples from my colleague Volkmar to adopt some new programming techniques - it is not so simple to leave over 20 years of programming behind. <br/> <br/> I am also trying to use methods of the standard types like strings instead of using the VO functions. Of course nothing i...

Finally we are developing in X#.

It's a feeling of freedom after being fixed to the VO Repositories for about 25 years.

<t>We are in the final phase of moving to X#. Now about 300 of our customers are already working with the X# version (this means some thousands of work places). Customers, that download the newest version, are automatically switched to Dotnet. They (or our support) can switch back to Win32 (VO) manu...

Thank you. The Program starts correctly with the modified Runtime Dll. I will continue with my tests.
